your left hand's pointer, middle, and ring fingers go on the 3 valves and the thumb goes around the tube on the trigger valve. the pinkie goes under the little metal hook underneath the valves on the tube. the right hand goes in the bell, like a karate chop with an incredibly slight cup, all the way to the edge of the bell parallel to the body and tilted slightly upward. See related link to see how your hand should be. Never should it be on the other side of the bell, because it will make the tone TERRIBLE.
